COMMERCIA L RA XL WA Y TALVA TlOX Acting on behalf of the Department of Commerce, the I'nited State census bureau has published a bulleUu prepared by experts under the title of "Various Aspects of Hallway Valuation." The commercial value of railways now In op eration In the United States Is computed for the yenr W4 nt $n.244X.2,0K, ex clusive of the value of sleeping cars and private freight cars, which are esti mated to be worth in round ligures Jli-V lNs.(jts. A conservative estimnte of the Increase In mileage and value of Amer ican railways, based upon their in creased earning ower would place their commercial value for 11HJ5 at approxi mately $ 12,(HKl,(s),(X0. With an aggregate mileage of 210.000 nillos, the commercial value of American railroads, as computed officially by the Department of Commerce, Is figured nt $.'7,144 per mile, but by some Inexplica ble process of reasoning the bureau seems to have appraised the railroads in some states way above and in others way below the standard of $37,144 per mile. For example. Nebraska is cred ited with B.Sld miles of railroad and the vnlne of the Nebraska railways, which at the standard rate of $."7,144 per mile would be $3.TJ.o40,r04, alUiough some what below their stock and bond value would come very near being correct. But the Nebraska railroads are com puted nt only $2i:?.170.tsH, or $t!U 70.504 less thnn the standard value. Even Uiis under-valuatloif, however, is still far above the valuation placed upon Ne braska railroads by the Stnte Hoard of Railway Assessment, which appraised the railroads of Nebraska at $230,414.- 2(m, or .$32,7."r.7.'r.r7 less than the value credited to Nebraska railroads by the national census bureau. Railroad men will scarcely have the hardihood to contend that Nebraska rnll- ronds mile for mile nre worth less than the average railroad of the I'nited States, in the face of the fact that Nebraska railroads In comparison with those In other states have earned dividends enormously In excess of the railroads In at least one-half of the states. And this is not saying that Nebraska hns fared the worst in the commercial valuation or In assessment. The rallrond mileage In our neighbor ing state of Iowa, which aggregates 9,r41 miles, is appraised nt only $344, 847.000 nnd nssessed for $.V7,r35,lt0, on a bnsls of one-fifth of Its true value, which is equal to $2N7,fi7.",SOO. or $r7, 171.2IH) less than the commercial value, whereas the commercial value of mil- ways in Iowa, based on the average for the I'nited States, or $57,144 per mile, Is $545,210,004, or $200.30.1,004 below stand ard commercial value. The railways of the stnte of Kansas with a mileage of 8,708 miles, which is 743 miles less than the railroad mileage of Iowa, are credited with n commercial value of $350,350,(100, or $11,500,000 more than Iowa, and their assessment Is proportionately higher. Contrast these figures with the esti mated vnlue of railways in Illinois, which has 11,420 miles of rnllrond hp- praised nt $805,057,000, or $70,554 per mile, when at the average rate of $57,t44 the valnntion would have been only $052,807,344. In other words in the state of Illinois the commercial value of the rnllroads Is $13,410 per mile nb'ove the average mileage rnte for the United States and the aggregate assessment of railways In Illinois Is $425,700,055, or 03 per cent of their commercial value. whereas In Nebraska the assessment is only 18.05 per cent and in Iowa 10.07. These figures indicate sufficiently that there Is room for a great deal of Improve. ment In the matter of railway valuation and railway assessment. The pivotal point, however. In the official estimate of commercial railway valuation Is the fact that the railroads of the United States with a mileage of 210,000 miles and a commercial value of $12,000,000, 000 have earned more than $2,000,000,000 during the past year after paying all their operating expenses and cost of maintenance. Including the many better ments as well as taxes. PROFESSORIAL FREEDOM- Chicago newspapers during the past week have been finding a prolific source of news material In bizarre excerpts from a course of lectures on sociology delivered by Prof. Edward A. Ross of the University of Nebraska before the summer classes of the University of Chi cago. The significance of Prof. Ross' Chicago lecture engagement, however, Is not In the bold phrases with which he characterizes modern social condl tlons, nor In the seemingly reckless pre dictions he makes of the Inevitable goal of present-day tendencies. The sub stance of his Chicago lectures has all been spread out l'fore from time to time to his University of Nebraska stu dents where he ha more than once scourged the yellowness of the yellow Journals aud denounced the Wall street robber In a silk hat as more Injurious to society than the professional pickpocket The significance of the lecture course Is not what Prof. Ross has been s-tylng at the University of Chicago, but that he should te allowed to say anything there nt all. The University of Chicago Is com nionly supposed to be an, institution from which attacks ujon capital and vested rights are strictly tabooed. One of its professors of social economies was a few yesrs ago forced to resign for ex pressing radical views calculated to of fend the financial fount fronn which the university's endowment- flows. And strangely enough thl episode happened nlsmt the same timw that Prof. Ross lost his position in th faculty of I. eland Stanford university for painting In too lurid colors the methods bv which the money to found that Institution hid been acquired. Had any one at that time suggested that Prof. Him would In the year 1 1 m T be lnv!td to lecture on socio logical subjects In th University of Chicago, and In the life time of Rocke feller, the suggestion would have been scouted as among the Impossibilities. With this object lesson It must be conceded that our universities both en dowed and public have made progress In the direction of freedom of thought and of speech. The state universities are still more tolerant than the univer sities tliHt have hands out constantly for gifts and bequests from wealUiy patrons und will doubtless continue to be freer from outside disturbing influences, but the Idea that the true university should afford Isith professors and students an untrammelled forum for discussion Is steadily gaining ground. THE re ALE XEtloTIATIQXS. The advices from Portsmouth are not reassuring, yet it should not be ns sumed that the rejection by the Russian envoys of the two chief demands of Ja pan necessarily means that the peace conference will be a failure. It was expected that a demand for what is prnc tieally an indemnity and for the cession of .Sakhalin would be rejected by the Russian envoys. That was well under stood before the meeting of the confer ence and by none better than Uie Japa nese envoys. There is room, however, for a compro mise and it is not Impossible that the Japanese have this In view. They are manifestly enUtled to something by way of reimbursement for the expenses of the war. They may be satisfied with something less than the total cost and It Is quite possible that Russia will con clude to pay n sum, say one-half, of whit the expenditures of Japan have been up to the present time. This would amount to perhaps $:50,Ois,ooo nnd such a de mand would be most reasonable. A pay ment of this amount would not bear very heavily upon Russia, could be readily obtained through a loan and would not Involve any humiliation to that power. In fact, the talk about the payment of an Indemnity by Russia being humilia ting Is manifestly absurd. The Justice of Japan's claim In this respect Is ad mitted on all hands and It cannot fairly be said that she Is Immoderate or unrea sonable In the demand that has been made for a reimbursement of the cost of the war. As to the proposed cession of the island of Sakhalin, already in the possession of Japan as a part of her conquest, it is difficult to see what good reason Russia can give for not ceding it Legitimately the island belongs to Japan. She was in the first place wrongfully deprived of it, or rather Induced to part with It under conditions which were essentially un fair. In capturing the Island Japan has simply come Into her rightful ownership and Uierefore Is entirely Justified In de manding that what properly belongs to her shall be recognized by treaty. So far as Russia is concerned, Sakhalin Is little better than a penal colony, almoRt nothing having been done to develop such resources as the Island possesses. ndoubtedly Japan would Improve It nnd get some benefit from It, besides which It has some strategic value to that country. Having gained military con trol of Sakhalin Japan can undoubtedly maintain her bold upon it, so that Rus sia's rejection of the demand for its cse slon seems to le quite without Justifica tion. The latest advices indicate that the Japanese envoys are Inclined to adhere firmly to their demands. It is also said that the Russians will persist in the re fusal to nccede to the chief of these de mands. There Is still a chance, however, that the conference will not prove a fail ure. It Is possible that In the last ex tremity tfiere may be mediation. In which event President Roosevelt, perhaps with the concurrence of all the neutral pow ers, might suggest a way to peace ac ceptable to the belligerents. Meanwhile military operations continue in the far east and the forces of Oyama are said to be In readiness to give battle If the negotiations at Portsmouth should prove futile. IMPORTAhT POLICIES VEFIItED The address of President Roosevelt at Chautauqua, N. Y., merits the careful at tention of the country, particularly what Is said In regard to supervision and reg ulation of corporations by the national government. In defining the Monroe doc trine and the position of this government regarding It, the president makes a more comprehensive statement than In any of his previous utterances on the subject, though without any change In the char acter of what he bad before said. What cannot fail to le of great Interest to the people to whom this doctrine applies Is the declaration that "we do not Intend to treat It in any shape or way as an ex cuse for aggrandizement on our part at the expense of the republics to Uie south of us." On the other hand we do not In tend to permit It to lie used as a shield to protect any of those republics from the consequences of Its misdeeds against foreign nations. There Is a belief In some of the southern republics, perhaps pro moted by foreign Influence, that the United States may In the not far future find some pretext for the taking of ter ritory from them. This belief Is by no means general, but there is enough of it to keep alive a feeling of unfriendliness toward this country and to Interfere to some extent with our trade In that part of the world. Hence the Importance of Mr. Roosevelt's declaration that no Just and orderly government on this conti nent has anything to fenr from us and that "under no circumstances will the United States use the Monroe doctrine ns n cloak for territorial aggression." Surely the southern republics can ask no stronger or more complete assurance of the unselfish friendship of the United States. In regard to federal supervision and regulation of corporations engaged In Interstate commerce, the president reit erates views already familiar to the country. He has In nowise changed or modified the opinion expressed In his messages to congress and In his other public utterances that It Is absolutely necessary In the Interest of the whole people that corporations shall le subject to national control to a greater extent than at present. There Is nothing ex treme or radical In the views ei Dressed by the president He does not go be yond what he has formerly urged as necessary to a proper concern for the Interests of the public. He advocates no radical legislation, bu rather lenu to the side of a Judicious conservatism, which while causing no radical disturb ance of existing conditions will yet pro duce a change for the better. The con clusion of the president's address ought to impress Itself upon all. "We must not try to go too fast," he said, "under penalty of finding that we may be going In Uie wrong direction, and lu any event we ought always to proceed by evolu tion nnd not by revolution. The laws must be conceived nnd executed in a spirit ofanlty and Justice, nnd with ex actly ns much regard for the rights of the big mnn as for the rights of the little man treating big man and little mnn exactly alike. Our Ideal must be the effort to combine all proper freedom for Individual effort with some guarantee that the effort is not exercised In con travention of the eternal and Immutable principle of Justice." Is there In this anything to which the rational and un prejudiced citizen cannot subscribe? It Is fully In accord with the lest nnd the practically unanimous American sentiment UVR (. USiluPOLllAX ERA. If any proof were wanting that we have reached an ern of cosmopolitanism It Is furnished by Uie reports that reach us by the polygot press gang assembled at Portsmouth, which supplies the peo ple of all the world with advance com ment on tho goings and couilngsf the haggling, jauglings and quibblings, yea, of Uie Innermost thoughts of the Japa nese and Russian plenipotentiaries. For example, Mr. Fakiro 'takes the Amerlcun people Into his confidence by giving thein advance translations of articles that will appear In the Toklo and Yokohama newspapers the day after before, illustrated by the famous Japanese artist, Kodak Snnpshota. An other noted globe perambulutor, SIgnor Macaroni SpaghetU, special envoy of the Italian Searchlight gives out a start ling confidential Marconlgram transmit ted by him to King Humbert of Italy. Mr. Tartaroff Bumberoff, the confiden tial emissary of the czar, Indulges In speculative glimpses into Uie cavernous recesses of Muscovite diplomacy. Not to be outdone by these cosmopoli tan bubble blowers, the American con tingent of exclusive indefatigable fabri cators of startling events and Interna tional complications are exploiting the well defined nnd 111 defined rumors af fecting the strained relations between the Russian nnd Japanese envoys and keeping the wires red hot twenty-four hours in the day, not excluding Sundays, wiUi halr-ralslng. Inspiriting prophecies of "Peace oh earth nnd good will to men." POLICY IN THE rmUPPlSES. The speech of Secretary Taft nt the banquet given him by native Filipinos ought to have a good effect in quieting any dlssaUsfactlon that may exist among the people there. We noted a few days ago the existence of n feeling thnt the government was not dealing fairly with the Filipinos aud that Uie present admin istration of affairs lu the archipelago, or at least in that portion of It which em braces Luzon, Is not wholly satisfactory. Secretary Taft was made acquainted with this and though he did not make a direct reference to it in speech, he evi dently bad it in mind when assuring his hearers of the purpose of the govern ment to deal fairly and justly with the Filipino people aud to promote their in terests in all practicable ways. Secretary Taft declared that the ad ministration's jKlicy is "the Philippines for the Filipinos" and thnt any Ameri can officials not In sympathy with this policy would be recalled. No one will question the authority of the secretary of war to speak In this matter for the administration, 'nor will any one doubt that Secretary Taft has the interests of the Filipino people at heart He under stands as well as any other American what the needs and the possibilities of Uiose people are and he enjoys their full confidence. What he told them they will heed and we think it will be approved by all Americans who have not adopted the idea that we should give up the Philippines and leave their people to take care of themselves without any protec tion or guidance. They are confessedly not now capable of self-government nnd it is the duty of the United States to enre for them until they are. The retail hardware merchants and stove dealers of St Louis held a meet ing last week, and after full and free discussion reached Uie conclusion that tacks and hammers were not a neces sity for the sustenance of life and that those dealers who Insisted on opening on Sunday should be forced to do as ns their brethren and close up tight. A committee was then appointed to wait upon the police commissioners with a proposition thnt they would furnish the necessary screws to put on the lid. This must lo a revelation to Governor Folk, who has insisted all along that the Sun day laws wefe being strictly enforced lu tho metropolis of Missouri. Evcy year America sends two or three expeditious to find the north pole aud every yenr it also sends two or three expeditions to find and bring back the men who failed to find the north sle. How long this expensive pastime will continue cannot le prognosticated. We Imagine, however, that some day an enterprising yellow Journalist will come back with a story of how he found the north pole and what he Imagines he saw at the north pole, und inasmuch as it will 1 very difficult to contradict him successfully, the probabilities will le that olar expeditious will receive a backset for a long time, at least. Game Wardeu Hunger lias returned from the north part of the state, where he spent Sunday in hot pursuit of a mounted soldier who waa shuotlng pral- rle chickens, and the worst of It was that the mounted horseman lixkcd much like an officer of the regular army. Now, It Is nothing uncommon for hunger to chase anylxsly, but would it not be emi nently proer for Governor Mickey to call Oame Warden Hunger on the car pet for chasing over the prairies of Ne braska on Sunday. Who is the worst law breaker the military officer on horseback or the civil officer on foot-back? It Is all right and proper that the Rus sians should Indemnify flie Japanese for the cost of the war, but who will In demnify Uncle Sam for nil these costly dinners and lunches nnd steam yachts and electric launches put Into requisi tion Just lu order that a few Russians and Japs may fraternize in a New Eug land port? nttsburg picnics for packing house employes are unique affairs, with calf and lamb dressing contests, greased pig catches and sport expressly provided for knights of the cleaver and dressed meat milliners. We are told by the Pittsburg papers the event wns made memorable. Astronomers say that the moon will show to better advantage during the eclipse tomorrow if you do not look at it through a glass. We presume thnt warning applies particularly to n glass that made Milwaukee famous. With a Missouri Judge declaring the Kansas sunflower a weed and Governor Folk taking a drink of tfhlsky in Kan sas It would seem that the spirit of the "border ruffian" is still abroad along the banks of the Kaw. By the time Mr. Harrlman is nflont on the ocean wave out of reach of the wireless General Manager Mohler will be in n position to evolve his plan for a new Union Pacific headquarters build ing. Accepting as true the forecast of Brit ish activity In Afghanistan, experts should devote considerable study to the Russian development of Manchuria in order to ascertain how not t do it The alleged unpopnlarlty of the House of Lords may reflect a scheme of the op position to show how political activity In the coming campaign can be re warded.

I The Influence of vlsltlntf Americans Is credited with bringing about a pronounced temperance agitation In Knpland, the Amer ican fashion nt using soft iced drinks In summer gaining rapid headway there. The pessimists at home, who are fond of telling lurid tales of the startling Increase of In temperance on thla side, will be gloomy over this news, but will, rs rhnps, brighten up under the prospect of the untold Ills coming If Britons become converts to the American Ice water habit. A I. oat Opportunity, Brooklyn Eagle. A lawyer from Oskaloosa, la., failed to see the president at Sagamore Hill. He denied that he had any favora to ask, explaining that the object of his visit was to keep the people, eighty millions, straight on political subjects. T'nfor tunately, the president was busy, thua losing the opportunity of a lifetime. The difference between the lawyer and others who want to keep the eighty millions straight la that they don't know how, which may be said to be true even of the presi dent himself, of whom It Is also true tc say that he Is willing to learn. However, the chance has gone. In time of need somebody else must save the country. 8ECVLAR SHOTS AT THE PI LP1T.
